RECESSIONAL  HYMN  425, 


P.  M. 


V. 


THE  strain  upraise  of  joy  and  praise,  Alleluia 

To  the  glory  of  their  King 

Shall  the  ransom'd  people  sing,  Alleluia 

And  the  choirs  that  dwell  on  high 
Shall  re-echo  through  the  sky,  Alleluia 

They  in  the  rest  of  Paradise  who  dwell 
The  blessed  ones  with  joy  the  chorus  swell,    Alleluia 
The  planets  beaming  on  their  heavenly  way, 
The  shining  constellations  join  and  say,  Allelui  i 

Ye  clouds  that  onward  sweep, 

Ye  winds  on  pinions  light, 
Ye  thunders,  echoing  loud  and  deep, 
Ye  lightnings,  wildly  bright, 
In  sweet  consent  unite  your  Alleluia! 

Ye  floods  and  ocean  billows, 

Ye  storms  and  winter  snow, 
Ye  days  of  cloudless  beauty, 

Hoar  frost  and  summer  glow  : 
Ye  groves  that  wave  in  spring, 

And  glorious  forests,  sing.  Alleluia  ! 

First,  let  the  birds,  with  painted  plumage  gay, 
Exalt  their  great  Creator's  praise,  and  say,     Alleluia  ! 


Then  let  the  beasts  of  earth,  with  varying  strain, 
Join  in  creation's  hymn,  and  cry  again,       Alleluia! 
Here  let  the  mountains  thunder  forth  sonorous, 

Alleluia  ! 
There  let  the  valleys  sing  in  gentler  chorus,  Alleluia! 
Thou  jubilant  abyss  of  ocean,  cry,  Alleluia! 

Ye  tracts  of  earth  and  continents  reply,       Alleluia  ! 
To  God,  who  all  creation  made. 
The  frequent  hymn  be  duly  paid :  Alleluia  ! 

This  is  the    strain,   the    eternal    strain,   the  Lord 
Almighty  loves  :  Alleluia  ! 

This  is  the  song,  the  heavenly  song,  that  Christ,  the 
King,  approves  :  Alleluia  ! 

Wherefore  we  sing,   both  heart  and  voice  awaking, 

Alleluia ! 
And  children's  voices  echo,  answer  making. 

Alleluia  ! 
Now  from  all  men  be  outpour'd 
Alleluia  to  the  Lord  ; 
With  Alleluia  evermore 
The  Son  and  Spirit  we  adore. 
Praise  be  done  to  the  Three  in  One, 

Alleluia!  Alleluia!  Alleluia!  Amen! 


PROCESSIONAL    HYMN  202. 

HPHE  Church's  one  foundation 
-*-      Is  |esus  Christ  her  Lord  ; 
She  is  his  new  creation 

By  water  and  the  word  : 
From  heaven  he  came  and  sought  her 

To  be  his  holy  bride  ; 
With  his  own  blood  he  bought  her, 

And  for  her  life  he  died, 


.  Elect  from  every  nation, 

Yet  one  o'er  all  the  earth, 
Her  charter  of  salvation 

One  Lord,  one  faith,  one  birth  ; 
One  holy  name  she  blesses, 

Partakes  one  holy  food, 
And  to  one  hope  she  presses, 

With  every  grace  endued. 

.  Though  with  a  scornful  wonder, 

Men  see  her  sore  opprest, 
By  schisms  rent  asunder, 

By  heresies  distrest ; 
Yet  saints  their  watch  are  keeping, 

Their  cry  goes  up,  "How  long?" 
And  soon  the  night  of  weeping 

Shall  be  the  morn  of  song. 


..  'Mid  toil  and  tribulation, 

And  tumult  of  her  war. 
She  waits  the  consummation 

Of  peace  for  evermore  ; 
Till  with  the  vision  glorious 

Her  longing  eyes  are  blest, 
And  the  great  Church  victorious 

Shall  be  the  Church  at  rest. 

.  Yet  she  on  earth  hath  union 

With  God  I  he  Three  in  One, 
And  mystic  sweet  communion 

With  those  whose  rest  is  won: 
O  happy  ones  and  holy  ! 

Lord,  give  us  grace  that  we 
Like  them,  the  meek  and  lowly, 

On  high  may  dwell  with  thee. 


HYMN  102. 

^OME  see  the  place  where  Jesus  lay, 
-^And  hear  angelic  watchers  say, 
"He  lives,  who  once  was  slain  : 

Why  seek  the  living  'midst  the  dead? 

Remember  how  the  Saviour  said 
That  he  would  rise  again." 


3.  The  First-begotten  of  the  dead, 
For  us  he  rose,  our  glorious  Head, 

Immortal  life  to  bring  ; 
What  though  the  saints  like  him  shall  die, 
They  share  their  Leader's  victory, 

And  triumph  with  their  King. 


A  LLhail  the  power  of  Jesus'  name! 
-^-*-  Let  angels  prostra'e  fall  ; 
Bring  forth  the  royal  diadem, 

And  crown  him  Lord  of  all. 

2.  Crown  him,  ye  martyrs  of  our  God, 

Who  from  his  altar  call ; 
Extol  the  Stem  ol  Jesse's  rod, 
And  crown  him  Lord  of  all. 

3.  Hail  him,  the  Heir  of  David's  line 

Whom  David  Lord  did  call ; 

The  God  incarnate  !  Man  divine! 

And  crown  him  Lord  of  all. 


4.  No  more  they  tremble  at  the  grave, 
For  Jesus  will  their  spirits  save, 

And  raise  their  slumbering  dust: 
O  risen  Lord,  in  thee  we  live, 
To  thee  our  ransom'd  souls  we  give, 
To  thee  our  bodies  trust. 


HYMN  424, 


C,  M. 


4.  Ye  seed  of  Israel's  chosen  race, 

Ye  ransom'd  of  the  fall, 
Hail  him  who  saves  you  by  his  grace, 
And  crown  him  Lord  of  all. 

5.  Sinners,  whose  love  can  ne'er  forget 

The  wormwood  and  the  gall, 
Go,  spread  your  trophies  at  his  feet, 
And  crown  him  Lord  of  all. 

6.  Let  every  kindred,  every  tribe, 

On  this  terrestrial  ball, 
To  him  all  majesty  ascribe. 
And  crown  him  Lord  of  all.
